Cool!
No need to make the <img sr ="" :)
Something I don't understand : why the image don't open on a window directly inside the navigator?
Here that is on my computer on my desk or inside a 2D prog!

Hi Michael,

>>...each message now has a nicer looking border and title section

Yes, it looks really nice, except a background of the active thread title might inherit the same color and that "chemical" color of the bar at the top of the page as well...

>>Automatic thumbnail generation for image attachments enabled.

This only works if a user is logged in, though...

ps. that gnawed wooden rod is JoJo's piece of work? :)

Hi Pilou,

> No need to make the <img sr ="" :)

Yup! This is now only necessary if you want to display the image full size inside of your message.

I am still going to see if I can make a better "insert image" helper in the message editor to make that easier though.

Right now all attachments are configured to work as a kind of file download. I'm going to experiment with this to see about opening the image in the browser instead.

Yup, I'm going to see about tuning those up a bit later today.

Thanks for reporting this, it is now fixed - guest users should now see the image attachment thumbnails as well.


> ps. that gnawed wooden rod is JoJo's piece of work? :)

:) Nope - she has not shown any interest in gnawing on that. Which is good because that is not wood, that is the tusk of a woolly mammoth.

She's generally pretty well behaved, there is just one corner of the couch which seems to be pretty delicious.

This should be fixed now. Now when you click on an image thumbnail, the image will open up with the browser instead of as a file download.

Other file types like .3dm files will still work as a download.

Mammoth? I guess you meant the woolly rhinoceros, didn't you :)

I see that images can now be clicked and open in new window! :)

Something i don't understand : when you make a little tut for Brian
there is images inside the text and the same images in thumbnail at the end of the post!
Seems there is twice different loading?

Hi Pilou,

This was intentional, because I wanted to show the image inline in my mini tut - in some case like a tutorial it is nice to display the image right directly inside the text, instead of only having it as thumbnails at the very end of all text.

So for that post I used inserted <img> tags just the same as before.


Then the attachments for images now always show up at the end of a post as thumbnails, it doesn't matter if they are used inline in the message or not.

I was thinking it might not be a bad idea to detect if the image was used inline and if so just display it as an old-style plain text link in the attachments section instead of as a thumbnail...


> Seems there is twice different loading?

There is, but the thumbnails are small, it doesn't save a whole lot of load time to skip them. But I'm thinking it may be nice to skip them just because it looks a bit odd to see 2 of the same images displayed.

And Michael is considering Brians slow learning curve!

A couple of tuneups for attachments - the attachment dialog was slightly tweaked because it had a "complete" button which kind of looked like the button to push to do the upload which it wasn't. Switched that to a "Close" button and re-arranged the button order slightly.

Also now if an image is used inline in a message, it won't display as a thumbnail at the end and instead will be just a link in the regular non-thumbnail attachments list. This is so the image doesn't appear twice on the screen which kind of looks a little weird.

Slight tuneup for top blue nav bar to give it a gradient backdrop.

I believe this blue of the top menu is not according to the screen
More there is the blue of the Window system!
That makes too more different blue in the same time!
Maybe something like that will be more fit ?

Hi Pilou, that looks nice but maybe a little bit too light. With white text the background behind it needs to be somewaht dark to have contrast...

- Michael

maybe like this :) more dark

Hi Pilou, I think that's better than your previous one, but the one I currently have matches the header on the moi3d.com home page better, that's one reason why it is that color... I think I'm going to stick with the current color.

- Michael

There is an another solution ;)
a very little button on the left of "Moi home" like * permit to have a variety of colors when you click on it !
(only for the up menu) so every body can choose his color :)

Hi Pilou, can you add that to the wishlist?

It sounds like it would be fun, but I don't think I have enough time to do that right now.

There are also some images used on that home page, so I would have to create several different versions of those for each color.

If you'd like to customize it, you can try this Firefox plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108, which allows you override the default styles on a web site and specify your own.

I think it would be possible for you to use that to customize the MoI web page if you really really want to do that right now.

- Michael

Updated login page with title at the top.

Updated header/title and background of forms (seen on login page, options pages, etc...)

Unfunk-ified buttons, switched to just use standard browser buttons instead of purple buttons.

Added ;)

Simplified attachments dialog a bit more.

Tuned up forum search - by default the date range is everything. Previously the default search range was only back 1 month.

Fixed some problems with search keyword parsing.

Changed mysql "stop list" so that it is possible to search on more terms for example "second".
